Rh starts another foundation, in the row under the spade ace. It is usual for each player to keep his aces on the same side of the foundations, in order that he may know how many are to come from the red or the blue pack. The spade ace came from the red pack, so the club ace is put under it. The ♤Q goes on the ♡K, and the moment the ♧2 appears, it goes on the ace, and the ♧3 makes a space.

As a player is not allowed to fill spaces from the discard piles, he cannot put the ♤10 and ♢9 into the vacancy, but may fill it with the ♤8, the last card from his stock. This is better than putting it on his long sequence, as that might result in his turning a card which would be useful to his opponent, such as a black ten, which he would have to put into the space.
